    Discussion #2 – Victims/Offenders

    DISCUSSION #2

    For this first discussion, you will be required to respond to the question below. You will need to have read and reviewed the lecture on section I, the introduction, and section II, the theories of victimization.

    FOR ALL DISCUSSIONS, make certain to review the guidelines on discussion posts (see syllabus) if you are uncertain of how to approach the post. More importantly, you MUST submit a substantive reply to another student’s post, AND, you are required for this discussion to provide evidence to support your argument. Again, see the course syllabus for an example.

    ALWAYS PROOFREAD BEFORE SUBMITTING TO CHECK FOR SPELLING AND GRAMMAR.

    POST:

    First, discuss with the class the relationship between victimization and offending (section II), making certain to draw support from the readings for your explanation. To be clear, your response should be in full discussion format (not a few sentences), including evidence from the articles in the chapters of these sections.

    Then, you will need to conduct a 20-30 minute internet investigation and locate an empirical research article focused on female offenders or female victims. Summarize the article and present the major findings to the class.

    MAKE CERTAIN TO:

    1.) Copy and paste the link (to where you found your article) and post into your discussion so that other students may view the info later.

    2.) List at least 4 major findings/main statistics presented in your article on crimes committed by women or delinquent/deviant behavior.

    3.) Finally, discuss with the class which victimization theory (as explained in lecture part II) you believe can best be applied to your article (if not already presented in paper). Explain why.

    Requirements: as needed

    This assignment will be submitted to TurnitinTM. Instructions AN OVERVIEW OF RESEARCH PAPER REQUIREMENTS See APA Writing Guide. Note that the sources used to support your research need to be peer-reviewed/scholarly journals and must have been published within the past 5-10 years of the present date. Older sources may be used, but only with prior permission from the course instructor. Research Paper Assignment: You must submit an 810-full page (top to bottom) research paper, excluding the title page, abstract page, and reference page. Your paper MUST be in APA Format (7th Edition). See attached Sample APA 7th Edition paper. Choose a topic of interest to you that relates specifically to this course. I recommend selecting a topic that you have limited knowledge about but are nonetheless interested in learning more about that topic. Your topic must be approved in advance with a brief explanation as to why you chose the topic, along with your plan of what you intend to learn from your research, by the end of week 2. Submitting a paper on a topic that was not approved in week 2 by your instructor may result in a failing grade. It is recommended that you use the APUS library’s database to find at least five, peer-reviewed articles published within the past 5-10 years that support your chosen topic. All assignments must be in Microsoft Word format, double-spaced, using a Times New Roman 12-point font. Your paper will automatically be evaluated by Turnitin, which will assess your paper for originality and detect plagiarism. To minimize high originality scores, you are to paraphrase and cite as opposed to using direct quotes. High originality scores are typically indicative of plagiarism. If you must quote, do so sparingly and limit the quote to a few words. If you quote, you must include the page/paragraph number of where the quote originated. You must submit an original paper. Recycled work from this class or any other class in whole or in part is prohibited and may be grounds for disciplinary action. If in doubt, contact your instructor. Plagiarism and the use of AI is a serious offense that may result in a failing grade. Again, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of properly citing and referencing in APA format – 7th Edition. All research must have been published within the past 5-10 years. You MUST avoid any form of plagiarism at all costs, which includes the use of “recycled” work from this or another course. All work MUST BE ORIGINAL.

  • “Criminal Profiling: Real Science or Just Wishful Thinking

    Hide Assignment Information

    TurnitinTM

    This assignment will be submitted to TurnitinTM.Instructions

    Read the article “Criminal Profiling: Real Science or Just Wishful Thinking?” In the article, the author critically examines the highly suspect and sensational group of practices that can be collectively known as criminal profiling, and discusses whether they meet the two criteria for a science.

    In a short, 200-300 word essay, briefly describe the two most common practices of criminal profiling, and what type of offender is usually the subject of those practices. Additionally, discuss the two criteria for a science, and whether the two practices of criminal profiling discussed in the article meet these criteria. Finally, according to Muller (2000), “When considering a subject such as criminal profiling, it is easy to get lost in the hype and difficult to distinguish the fact from the fiction” (p, 262). Compare some of “facts” about criminal profiling from the article with some of the “fiction” of criminal profiling as discussed in the video, “The Minds Behind Mindhunter (Criminal Profiling).”

    Your response to these discussion prompts must take the form of a parenthetical essay, using complete sentences, appropriate grammar and syntax, and an academic, professional tone in your writing. DO NOT USE bulleted or numbered lists to answer these questions.

    If you are having difficulty with this assignment, please avail yourself of the resources available to students at the Academic Enhancement Center. Professional or academi
